After mentioning to several people that I wasn’t going to start my wonky log cabin blocks until John had posted the directions to all four variations, I went ahead and started anyway. My Amy Butler fabric strips were all laid out and kept calling to me, so I finally caved. A few people mentioned in recent comments that Amy Butler was their “gateway drug” into a designer fabric addiction. Well, make just one wonky log cabin block, and you will find yourself with another addiction. Here is my first block:
Oh, no! They’re multiplying!
My log cabins keep fighting the wonkiness. I think they are like most of us: a little wonky and just trying to pass for normal ;).
